Now that serial
killer Jordan Chase is aware that Dexter & Lumen are stalking
him, Dexter knows that they are in mortal danger.

So his first
move is to get his baby son, Harrison, out of the line of fire.

In this short
scene, we see Dexter drop off the baby with his Irish nanny, who is going
to drive him to his grandparents house in Orlando.

Dexter also
plans to move Lumen out of his house, to keep Chase from finding her.

He tells the
nanny to call him as soon as she gets there, and they say goodbye.

Q.
What is it actually in real life?

A. A carport
at an apartment house.

Q.
Where can I find it in real life?

A. They filmed
this scene in a carport behind & between two twin apartment houses,
at 1332 & 1328 Gordon Street,
in Hollywood.

That's on the
east side of the street, right across the street from the studio where
they film Dexter.

They painted
the apartment house for this scene (as you can see in the photo below).

Oddly enough,
it is not the same apartment house they used earlier in the season as the
nanny's home, but it is on the same
street. That original nanny house was at 1422
Gordon, which is seven houses to the north of this one.

[ Warning:
This is a private apartment house.
Do not trespass on their property,
knock on their doors, or do anything else that might disturb the residents.

Q.
How the heck did you figure out where it was?

A. In
previous seasons, I've usually had to hunt down the locations after viewing
the episodes, using clues from the various scenes. By the 5th season,
though, I'd developed a small group of fans, spies & tipsters who kept
an eye out for Dexter filming in their neighborhoods, and would
let me know in advance when something was about to film there.

Between those
reports, and my own personal reconnaissance around town, by the time the
first episode aired, I already knew most (but not all) of the filming locations,
and only needed to watch the episodes and match up the scenes with the
correct locations.

This group of
helpful fans includes Kerry,
Rick, Joel,
Geoff, Ellen,
Julie, Susan,
Jeff, and others. My thanks to all of them.

This particular
tip came from Rick, who was on Gordon
Street when they filmed the scene, and who shot the photos above. (Thanks, Rick!)
